In this paper we shall first study solvability of mixed monotone
systems of operator equations in an ordered normed space by using a
generalized iteration method. The obtained results are then applied to
prove existence of coupled extremal quasisolutions of the systems of first
and second order mixed quasimonotone differential equations with
discontinuous right hand sides. Most of the results deal with systems in
a Banach space ordered by a regular order cone.
